Wicked Riddim (2015) – Wicked Music

Wicked Music doesn’t go the glossy, crossover route here; this 2015 juggling keeps its weight in the dancehall lane, with DJ Rocky and the wider crew pushing a lean, club-ready cut that’s more about bashment pressure than polish. Honorebel’s “Up, ” Red Fox’s “When We A Buss It” and Richie Loop’s “Nuh Bwoy” give the riddim its strongest hooks, while Kuzilla, Mc Rabbie and Young Mulo keep the energy moving across the rest of the set. There’s a clear soundsystem feel to the production, the kind of low-end, skanking pattern that leaves room for deejay chatter and quick chants, and the closing instrumental from Wicked Music Entertainment/Kron ties it all back to the source with a stripped-down version of the same hard-edged groove.
